Tennessee...Southwestern Virginia...Far Southern West Virginia

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 62...66...

Valid 142312Z - 150115Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 62, 66
continues.

SUMMARY...A severe threat appears likely to continue across parts of
the southern and central Appalachian Mountains. Wind damage and hail
will be the primary threats but a tornado can not be ruled out.
Weather watch issuance will probably be needed across the region at
the expiration of WW 62.

DISCUSSION...The latest surface analysis shows a cold front from
eastern Kentucky extending south-southwestward into north-central
Georgia. Scattered thunderstorms are ongoing along and just ahead of
the front. A moist airmass is present to the east of the front and
the RAP is showing an axis of instability from northeastern Georgia
into western North Carolina, where MLCAPE values are estimated to be
in the 1000 to 1500 J/kg range. In addition, the Knoxville, TN
WSR-88D VWP shows 65 to 70 kt of 0-6 km shear suggesting the
environment will continue to support severe storms early this
evening. Supercells and organized multicells will have potential for
wind damage and isolated large hail. Although the tornado threat
appears to have decreased some across the region, a brief tornado or
two can not be ruled out, especially with cells that rotate.
